illumiNaughty presents: Halloween Central

Alright revellers, it’s time to get your groove on because Manchester’s biggest indoor festival returns, this time with a Halloween twist! Show-makers illumiNaughty will once again be weaving their production magic to create a massive multi-genre bass-filled party paradise!

Manchester Academy will be transformed into a metropolis of madness – bringing to you an epic clubbing experience not to be missed. Spooks, ghouls, goblins and fools will frolic through the night all the way to the afterlife in a FOUR-FLOORED musical maze. Illuminaughty and their good friends are set to deliver a hefty dose of festival cravings under one roof.

Whether you’d rather dance with the devil to some gnarly BREAKS in “Hell”, prance in “Purgatory” to ELECTRO-SWING, wait to reincarnate yourself with some GHETTO SOUL FUNK in the “Elysian Fields” or swirl with the seraphs in TRANCE “Heaven”… whatever your choice you will be indulged in an alchemy of prime underground sounds.

Infamous for its outrageous performance and unruly clientele illumiNaughty's festival experience is guaranteed to send you screaming into another realm!! No corner of the Academy will be left untouched with Visual Architects concocting a venue-wide transformation of mysteriously inviting areas to dance, chill, chat, schmooze and groove!

DJ’s and live artists from across the globe, live bands, circus performers, laser shows, aerial dancers, exhibitions, cafes, workshops, angle-grinders and stilt-walkers are just some of the delights on offer – with more space than ever at Manchester’s largest party venue - life after death never seemed so tempting, choose your eternity wisely!

“A divine cast of decadent ghouls will be mustered up for one night of Halloween themed mayhem”
